[QUOTE="Old_Slapper, post: 8910996, member: 690458"] yeh... The bottom line is, how much are you willing to spend and how much bass do you want. Some people will say $500 is their low budget while another will say $1500 is their low budget. Also, do you have a brand preference. The name brands like JL Audio, Kicker, Fosgate, etc... make great gear, but can be quite pricey. Stinger makes a good budget amp and they are known to be underrated. I am not sure on their longevity, due to them being a China brand. However, there are brands like Precision Power where the amps are pretty solid and made in Korea, but they are overrated, as always. As for avoiding a new alternator and an expensive power bank, 1000 watts would be a good number. You will still need a capacitor or secondary battery to help with the flickering lights. The subs you mentioned are all good, but 2 of them will require more than 1000 watts. 15 years ago, people were rattling windows with a 500 watt amp and 2-12's. Well, that's still true today. With 1000 watts on one 12" sub in a ported enclosure, your Jeep will be louder than those 2-12's in a sealed box. It would sound like you're pushing 4-12's in a sealed box. [/QUOTE]
